I'm very sad about manual line wrapping too (since I love plain text otherwise), but unfortunately it's in the MIME standard.

> Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF.

Of course with HTML, your source code can adhere to this standard while still having arbitrarily long lines of text...
